So jump on the back of the nearest flying Gargoyle and float to your local movie theater - hopefully at midnight - to enjoy the most irresistible techno-goth, emo-monster extravaganza that's come out in quite a while.&dash; io9.com - EDIT

Contagion suffers from an occasionally sterile perspective on what should be an emotionally harrowing experience, but it's refreshing to see what happens when you turn a horror movie premise into something that feels like a good episode of The West Wing.&dash; io9.com - EDIT

Ultimately the main problem with The Divide was the characters. If you're going to set your entire movie in a single room, you need interesting relationships to make the story pop.&dash; io9.com - EDIT

If you want to know how Skynet might really have been born, you need to watch Computer Chess. And if you just want to hang out with some groovy nerds who are debating the Singularity, you can come for that too.&dash; io9.com - EDIT

This movie is like some kind eruption from the dark heart of pop culture and intellectual culture at once, a meditation on female sexual conformity that nevertheless shoves boobies in our faces.&dash; io9.com - EDIT

Zombie movies require a certain amount of weirdness or subversiveness to succeed. Turning a zombie pandemic into a generic disaster movie robs the zombies of their dirty, nasty edginess and robs the disaster of its epic scope.&dash; io9.com - EDIT
